The 75-year-old victim, whose name was not released, was cleaning car wash bays at about 6:30 a.m. June 21 at Rob’s Carwash, 6901 Delta, when he found a man sleeping in one of the bays, El Paso Police Department officials said.

The victim woke up the man who then charged at the victim, officials said.

The man began punching the victim multiple times in the face.

As the victim attempted to call for help, the man continued to punch him, officials said.

The suspect then allegedly took the victim’s cell phone, picked up a blanket he was sleeping on and fled the scene, officials said.

The suspect is between the ages of 30 to 40 years old, about 5 feet 7 inches tall with a medium build and short dark hair. He was last seen wearing dark sunglasses, a blue long-sleeved shirt, blue denim jeans and black athletic shoes.
